The soldiers of the Street Department wore uniform blue shirts and appeared on the streets to clean up. The "Menglongyin City Chronicles" written by the people at the time recorded:
[If people drink slurry, they will be begged for it by those who plunder them every day. There are many households in the city, and the houses of ordinary people in the streets and alleys often do not have pit latrines, and only use toilets. Every day, people excrement is thrown away, which is called dumping the toes. 】
Qin Shou'an sat in the carriage and looked around, and could see boats carrying channel sludge traveling on the river.
Every spring, the government would hire canal diggers to clear the canals along the streets, and then transport them out of the city by boat for disposal.
At this time, urban management was highly developed, but except for Longyin City, the environment of most cities depended entirely on whether the chief official paid attention to local customs and the quality of the population.
After he entered the Tiandao Sect, it was only in the third year that he finally got the opportunity to go down the mountain with his master. Passing by a city, he saw a completely different scene.
Later, Master returned to the mountain and wrote notes:
[Things that people sweep away are dumped outside their doors. Stove ashes, broken porcelain and tiles are piled up like mountains, making the street more than ten feet taller than the house.]
The streets are always filled with the smell of urine. When it rains, the ground is covered with excrement mud, which will splash onto the waist and abdomen when walking. If the weather is sunny, the mud will turn into powder and paste on people's faces.
Qin Shou'an and his master were tracking the enemy at that time. The man crossed the wall and saw a small hill in front of him. He tried his best to jump up the hill.
It turned out that the hill turned out to be a huge dung pile. The excrement on the surface was scabbed like a rock. When the force was applied, the surface cracked, and then the excrement slurry exploded and swallowed him up. The smell was as strong as poison. At this time, all the energy in his body was gone. It was useless, and after struggling for a few times, it never climbed out.
Qin Shou'an still remembered that his master stood on the wall and was silent for a long time before he said to Qin Shou'an: "This man's martial arts skills are among the top fifty in the world."
Later, the chief official of that city was reported and dismissed. After all, according to the "New Qin Code of Laws and Comments", there are also laws and regulations: Those who penetrate the wall to reveal filth will be punished with a sixty stick;
Those who litter will be punished with sixty strokes. It is not unstern, but it is only Longyin City that can strictly enforce it.
Qin Shou'an was very satisfied with the clean and tidy environment, not to mention the powerful and wealthy people in the world who flocked to Longyin City, which also resulted in extreme prosperity and high cost of living.
When entering the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, the broad streets were blocked by horse-drawn carriages that had been returning happily all night long. Qin Shou'an vaguely remembered the early morning traffic jams in some Internet celebrity cities in his previous life.
When the carriage stopped, Qin Shouan opened the door curtain and saw a young man standing next to him, standing still.
He was wearing a black brocade robe with dark chrysanthemum patterns and a white brocade undershirt. He was elegant and elegant. His fingers holding the reins were long and strong. When he felt someone was watching, he turned his head.
Looking at Qin Shou'an's appearance, the young master showed a bit of surprise at first, and his body swayed slightly in a daze on the horse. Remembering a certain portrait his father had shown him, he quickly jumped off the horse and saluted: "I have seen the crown prince. "
"Master Fang, long time no see." Qin Shouan smiled slightly.
This Young Master Fang was Fang Zhishan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Fang Du Wei. His temperament and appearance were slightly different after eight years of absence, but Qin Shou'an could still recognize him.
Recently I heard the news about Mr. Fang. When I was discussing the men's style in the capital with three maids, Han Xin gossiped that Mr. Fang had raised someone in another courtyard, and the eldest mistress took him to raise him. Like a young master who is both grooming and sewing.
How miserable.
So looking at Mr. Fang, Qin Shouan's smile was inevitably a little distorted.
Fang Zhishan saw Qin Shou'an's smile and didn't know why, but he never thought that Qin Shou'an had heard his gossip and said, "The prince has been back in Beijing for many days. He should have paid a visit early, but he was afraid of disturbing him."
"Brother, you're welcome. When I was a child, I was naughty. I often climbed over the wall into the Prime Minister's Mansion and met my sister Mei and Baobao, making noises, laughing and quarreling, and disturbing my brother's study. Didn't you say a word about us?" Qin Shou'an calmed down and asked with concern. He said: "I wonder how the two sisters are doing now?"
Fang Zhishan felt warm in his heart when he heard that Qin Shou'an still called him "big brother" as he did when he was a child. The prince still called him "big brother" after his younger sister as he did when he was a child.
Listening to him still talking about "two sisters", one knew that Qin Shou'an's information was not very well-informed. The two little girls he had betrothed to Jin Lan when they were young, one was still waiting for marriage, and the other was already married.
Fang Zhishan replied: "Everything is fine with my sister-in-law... Miss Rong has also married His Majesty and is now the Queen."
"Ah... that's good." Qin Shouan was slightly surprised, but not too surprised.
Nowadays, when girls in ordinary families turn fifteen, they often talk about marriage.
On the other hand, if wealthy families are not in a hurry to get married, their daughters will be raised at home until they are eighteen or even twenty years old. There was a princess in the previous dynasty, and the emperor was reluctant to leave her, and did not marry until she was in her thirties.
It is normal for Fang Zhimei to stay in the boudoir. This girl, Rong Baobao, married into the royal family. Think about the emperor's orientation... I hope I have thought too much, otherwise Rong Baobao will never be happy and healthy in his life.
After chatting with Fang Zhishan for a while and making an appointment to pay a visit, the road was clear and the carriage continued to move forward. Qin Shouan's thoughts returned to the various scenes of playing in his childhood.
It seems that Qin Shou'an told them that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, received their master's mission, and were preparing to go to Taoyuan to experience the divine realm.
In order to kill people and seize treasures, Liu Guan and Zhang made the three of them sworn brothers and swore an oath to each other. Then they also decided to become brothers with Qin Shou'an.
He was deeply impressed by Rong Baozhong's oath, so he stabbed him in the stomach dozens of times and spit into his belly button, saying that if he matched the oath he swore, it would have the effect of a life-and-death curse... Have you sworn an oath? I don’t remember this.
Rong Baobao had already told her when she was a child that she would become a queen. She also wanted Qin Shou'an to serve her as a eunuch after she became the queen.
It's just that Qin Shou'an didn't pay attention to it at that time. He was focused on being a playboy and didn't pay attention to these things that actually greatly affected the structure of the court.
What's more, King Langya's fiefdom is Jianghu, and caring about the court is called arrogance.
Fortunately, even if she is the Queen, it is impossible for her to turn a prince into a eunuch casually.
I can't help but smile when I think about it, I will be able to meet Fang Zhimei in the near future.
The Queen and the Empress are just younger siblings, but they are not so easy to see.
Back at Haitang Chunwu, Yue Qing and Han Xin had already gone to bed, while Huai Yu and two little maids were waiting for Qin Shou'an.
Qin Shou'an asked Huai Yu to go to bed first. After all, the two little maids were young and in much better spirits than Huai Yu.
They changed into gauze bathrobes and went to the soup pool to help Qin Shou'an wipe his back and wash his body, bathe and change clothes.
The medicinal water washed away the turbid qi, and the medicinal soup containing more than a hundred precious medicinal materials was soaked. After taking a bath, Qin Shou'an felt warm all over, and he fell into sleep quickly while lying on the bed.
…
…
The morning light was faintly visible in the distance, reflecting the Xinyi flowers on the lakeshore like white ghosts. Tang Wanrong was so angry that she couldn't sleep.
She sat in the Yue Zhi Feng Lai Pavilion, facing Hei Ji who was standing in the shadow behind the window, and Bai Ji who was standing under the candlelight, pressing her surging chest.
"What did you do tonight?"
"We've been keeping watch outside."
"What's the problem?" Hei Ji was a little curious. Did Tang Wanrong want Hei Ji and Bai Ji to become pigs and be killed by Qin Shou'an during the process? They didn't want to.
On the way back, Tang Wanrong was silent. She only thought that Hei Ji and Bai Ji were taken away by Qin Shou'an's people, so she never came to check on her. Only now did she know that they had been outside all along.
Is this called guarding?
This is called watching a show!
"You have been guarding outside? So, you didn't feel anything wrong when you saw that there was no movement after I went in for so long?"
Tang Wanrong tried her best to stay calm and suppress her anger.
Although the other party is only a female official in the palace who serves as Longyin Guard, she actually has a good background and is not an ordinary background. Otherwise, she would not be so careless in front of a princess.
"There's some movement. You guys banged against the doors and windows, and the bed was shaking and creaking." Bai Ji glanced in the direction of Haitang Chunwu. She originally thought that Tang Wanrong and Qin Shouan would spend the night together.
With.
"Bai Ji said that pigs will struggle when they are poked. It doesn't matter, it's normal." Hei Ji felt that Tang Wanrong's mood was a little wrong. She was more considerate and not as cold-blooded as her sister.
He found her struggling and compared her to a pig being stabbed... Tang Wanrong became angry with embarrassment and was about to get angry, but she felt something was wrong and her face turned red with embarrassment.
These two untouched little girls, wouldn't they think that she was being cheated on with Qin Shou'an?
"After I went in last night, he restrained me, unable to move or speak. He didn't take off my gauze, thinking that I was really the master's wife invited by Wang Xie Fengyue Tower. Fortunately, he didn't do anything.
Like this, he just tied me to the bed and told me stories all night long!"
Tang Wanrong quickly explained the matter clearly. This was not only related to her own reputation, but if the news reached the Queen Mother, who knew what the Queen Mother would think?
Hei Ji and Bai Ji looked at each other, and then nodded seriously. She can say such outrageous things, so just believe her.
Tang Wanrong had a splitting headache. It seemed that she had to find a way to make them believe that she and Qin Shou'an really had nothing to do.
